​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As the country continues to see a shortage of affordable housing located near employment and transportation; we continue to engage in conversations on how condominiums and housing cooperatives can be positioned as solutions for housing affordability.  CAI supports incentives providing access to sustainable homeownership, including the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing units, within the community association housing model. CAI does not support government preemption of lawful zoning and land use policies adopted by municipalities or of community association covenants that govern property use. Community association autonomy over lot size and use, including placement of multi-family structures on lots designated for single-family use by association covenants and placement of accessory dwelling units, should not be diminished by state policy. ​​​
